KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Be prepared and arrive early. Ideally you should arrive at the Zoellner Arts Center 20- 25 minutes before the show. Allow for travel time and bus unloading or parking and plan to be in your seats at least 15 minutes before the performance begins. Be aware and remain quiet. The theater is a “live” space. You can hear the performers easily, but they can also hear you. You can hear other audience members, too! Even the smallest sounds like rustling papers and whispering can be heard throughout the theater; it’s best to stay quiet so that everyone can enjoy the performance without distractions. The international sign for “Quiet Please” is to silently raise your index finger to your lips. Show appreciation by applauding. Applause is the best way to show your enthusiasm and appreciation. Performers return their appreciation for your attention by bowing to the audience at the end of the show. It is always appropriate to applaud at the end of a performance, and it is customary to continue clapping until the curtain comes down or the house lights come up. Participate by responding to the action onstage. Sometimes during a performance, you may respond by laughing, crying or sighing. By all means, feel free to do so! Appreciation can be shown in many different ways, depending on the art form. For instance, an audience attending a string quartet performance will sit very still while the audience at a popular music concert may be inspired to participate by clapping and shouting. Concentrate to help the performers. These artists use concentration to focus their energy while on stage. If the audience is focused while watching the performance, the artists feel supported and are able to do their best work. They can feel that you are with them! Please note: Backpacks and lunches are not permitted in the theater. There is absolutely no food or drink permitted in the seating areas. Recording devices of any kind, including cameras, cannot be used during the performances. Please remember to silence your cell phone and all other mobile devices. The artists are performing challenging and sometimes dangerous work which can become more dangerous by outside distractions. Study Guide: Che Malambo page 4 2. ABOUT THE SHOW The powerhouse all-male Argentinian dance company, Che Malambo, excites audiences with their percussive dance and music spectacle. Created by the renowned choreographer Gilles Brinas, the production is now thrilling audiences around the world. The Paris-based Brinas first learned about malambo while researching traditional dances. He fell under its’ spell and travelled to the Pampas to engage with the gaucho and further explore their traditions. Malambo is a native dance peculiar to the Pampas region of Argentina, performed by men only. It is a dynamic blend of precision footwork, rhythmic stomping, drumming and song that developed among the gaucho, or Argentine cowboys. It began in the 17th century as competitive duels that tested skills of agility, strength and dexterity among the gaucho. It evolved to include its hallmark, zapateo, the fast-paced footwork inspired by the rhythm of galloping horses. In addition to zapateo, malambo features the drumming of traditional Argentine bombos and whirling boleadoras, a throwing weapon made up of intertwined cords and weighted with stones. Inspired by the dance and the talent of its exponents, Brinas created Che Malambo to share this powerful, passionate form with international audiences. Since its premiere in Paris in 2007, Che Malambo has performed around the world, including sold-out performances at the 2015 New York City Center’s Fall for Dance Series, followed by a successful coast-to-coast tour of North America in 2016. Study Guide: Che Malambo page 5 Important terms to know about this show Argentina – a massive South American nation with terrain encompassing the Andes mountains, glacial lakes and the Pampas grassland, the traditional grazing ground of its famed beef cattle. The country is famous for tango dance and music. Its’ big, cosmopolitan capital, Buenos Aires, is centered on the Plaza de Mayo, lined with stately 19th-century buildings including Casa Rosada, the iconic, balconied presidential palace. Boleadoras – a type of throwing weapon made of weights on the ends of interconnected cords, used to capture animals by entangling their legs. Now boleadoras are made out of plastic and commercial nylon, but they’re still dangerous, and the performers have to be very skilled— and very careful. Bombos – The Spanish word for drums. El repique – strike to the floor using the back part of the boot. Floreos – large confident movement (with the hands). Gaucho – South American cowboy. The gaucho is an iconic figure that represents the values of bravery, honor, and freedom or the rural man. La cepillada – dance step in which the sole brushes the ground. Malambo – a folk dance of traditional Argentina, solely danced by men. It features unique footwork and stomping to the beat of heavy drumming. Mudanzas – the dance itself, a series of movements devised and performed in a unique cycle/figure on which individuals are judged, evaluated on the widest variety, the most complex and the most difficult. Percussion– musical instruments played by striking with the hand or with a handheld or pedal- operated stick or beater, or by shaking, including drums, cymbals, xylophones, gongs, bells, and rattles. Rhythm – a strong, regular, repeated pattern of movement or sound. Zapeteo – lively dancing marked by the stomping of the dancer's shoes, almost like tap dance. The name derives from the Spanish word zapato for "shoe". Study Guide: Che Malambo page 6 3. ABOUT THE ARTISTS THE ARTISTS: The performing artists of Che Malambo are all from Argentina. They include: Federico Arrua, Fernando Castro, Francisco Ciares, Claudio Diaz, Miguel Flores, Federico Gareis, Albanano Jimenez, Walter Kochanowski, Gonzalo Leiva, Facundo Lencina, Gabriel Lopez, Exequiel Maya, Daniel Medina, and Jose Palacio. The choreography for the productions was developed in collaboration with the artists of Che Malambo using their artistic input and individual techniques. ARTISTIC DIRECTOR: Gilles Brinas A renowned dancer and choreographer, Gilles Brinas performed with prestigious dance companies throughout Europe including Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon (under the direction of Vittorio Biagi and Miklo Sparemblek), the Ballet of the 20th Century by Maurice Béjart at La Scala in Milan (choreographer Amedeo Amodio) and the Grand Ballet de France and in the company of Robert Hossein (choreographer George Skibine). In addition to founding the Ballet DEA in 1979, Brinas has choreographed works for Beinnale de la Danse. Among his many honors are awards from the Bagnolet Competition and the Charles Oulmont Foundation. Since Che Malambo’s premiere in Paris 2007, the group has performed around the world, including a successful 2013 U.S. tour. The group came back to North America in 2015 for a limited engagement at the New York City Center’s sold-out Fall for Dance Series. Because of their international success, Che Malambo is spending the 2016-2017 season on a coast- to-coast North American tour. Study Guide: Che Malambo page 7 4. ABOUT THE ART FORM Like tap dancing there are different types of foot movements in Malambo. These movements are entirely based on rhythm as Malambo music has no lyrics or melody. Some commonly executed moves are: la cepillada The sole of the foot brushes against the ground in a swift movement el repique The foot strikes the floor using the back part of the boot floreos A large confident movement (with the hands) By far the essence of malambo lies in moves that feature the firm strikes of the feet.

AMORE PER LA MusICA Purtroppo, non è più tra noi il Professor Giovanni Girone, Presidente Onorario della Camerata che ha presieduto per ben 18 anni, con grande dedizione e amore. Il Professore Emerito Giovanni Girone fu ordinario di Statistica ancorchè giovanissimo e Preside, per 14 anni, della Facoltà di Economia e Commercio alla quale dedicò tutto il suo impegno di studioso di riferimento e di apertura verso tutte le problematiche degli studenti. Ma fu il suo rettorato, dal 2000 al 2006, ad offrirgli la grande visibilità in tutto il mondo accademico che gli riconobbe l’avvio di progetti culturali inter universitari con l’Europa e perfino con il Sud America. La passione per la Musica la coltivò con sincera ammirazione, già dai tempi del suo rettorato, e di qui nacque il nostro invito perchè potesse seguire le sorti della “Camerata” in quel tempo orfana dell’indimenticabile suo Presidente On. Nino Vernola. Nei 18 anni di Presidenza il Professor Girone ha profuso sentimenti di assoluto rigore per le scelte artistiche, per i rapporti con le istituzioni della Città e della Regione, per la parte amministrativa che delegava con fiducia ai suoi Dirigenti con i quali ha portato la Camerata a divenire la più importante Associazione del Sud Italia.

  • New Findings of Sicilian Folk Songs in Luciano Berio´S Naturale1
    PIERMARTIRI, Leonardo. New Findings of Sicilian Folk Songs in Luciano Berio´s Naturale. Revista Vórtex, Curitiba, v.6, n.2, 2018, p.1-19 New Findings of Sicilian Folk Songs in Luciano Berio´s Naturale1 Leonardo Piermartiri2 Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina | Brazil Abstract: This paper gathers and analyzes information concerning Naturale, a work written by Luciano Berio in 1985 for viola, percussion and recorded voice, based on Sicilian folk songs. Several aspects surrounding Naturale’s creation are taken into consideration in this study: Berio’s compositional style and traits, the manner in which he relates his works one to another, what he sees in folk music and his own personal desire to intertwine art music and folk music. For Berio, Naturale is not an isolated venture into the realm of mixing folk music and his own avant-garde style; it is instead one of many works resulting from his long-standing relationship with folk music. Another essential aspect in this case is the study of the sources used by Berio to find the folk songs by which he was inspired. An interview with Maestro Aldo Bennici, the Sicilian violist for whom Naturale was composed, helped in the discovery of the usage of two more folk songs in a section of the piece, being their identification suggested in this paper. Keywords: Luciano Berio, Naturale, Sicilian Folk Songs, Alberto Favara, Aldo Bennici. 1 Submitted on: June 01st, 2018. Approved on: August 26th, 2018. 2 Leonardo Piermartiri has been adjunct professor of Violin and Viola at UDESC (Santa Catarina State University) since 2003.

  • Argentina's Che Malambo to Bring Percussive Dance and Musical
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Argentina’s Che Malambo to bring percussive dance and musical spectacle to Worcester WORCESTER, Mass. (October 10, 2017) The powerhouse, all-male Argentinian dance company, Che Malambo comes to The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts on Saturday, April 21, 2018 at 8 p.m. Tickets are now on sale to theatre members and go on sale to the public Tuesday, October 17 at 10 a.m. The percussive dance and music spectacle excites audiences with a dynamic blend of precision footwork, rhythmic stomping, drumming and song which originated in the 17th century in the South American pampas. The styles presented evolved from competitive duels amongst the Argentine gaucho (South American cowboy) that tested agility, strength and dexterity. It soon evolved to include what is now its hallmark, zapeteo, the fast-paced footwork inspired by the rhythm of galloping horses. Malambo also features the drumming of traditional Argentine bombos and whirling boleadoras, a throwing weapon made up of intertwined cords and weighted with stones. Created by French director and choreographer Gilles Brinas, Che Malambo has been thrilling audiences around the world since its premiere in Paris in 2007. Brinas first learned about Malambo while researching traditional dances. He soon fell under its spell and travelled to the Pampas region of Argentina to engage with the gaucho and further his exploration of their traditions. Inspired by the dance and the talent of its exponents, he created Che Malambo to share this powerful, passionate form with international audiences. Brinas has performed with prestigious dance companies throughout Europe including Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon (under the direction of Vittorio Biagi and Miklo Sparemblek), the Ballet of the Twentieth Century by Maurice Béjart at La Scala in Milan (choreographer Amedeo Amodio) and the Grand Ballet de France, and in the company --more-- of Robert Hossein (choreographer George Skibine).
